Art Institute
We need permission from The Art Institute of Chicago to have free use of Nighthawks - the image hunters want to delete it from all but two articles.

Please join the discussion
You have been suggested as an editor who works in several sports areas. Please would you look at Talk:List_of_gymnasts#A_further_reorganisation_is_tempting and the proposal beneath it, and give a considered view on how best to move the list forward? Please feel free (I know you will anyway) to ask for as many other eyes as you see fit. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 18:47, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- Actually I don't know the sport either, so I'm hoping you'll have a look anyway. You were recommended because you have wide sport article experience, and might bring a multi-sport perspective to a list of (presumably) notable athletes. Obviously I respect your thought that you have little experience in this particular sport. The recommender was simply hoping that a broader experience of articles of this nature might give guidance on format. I arrived in the article in the first place by looking at it while doing something else entirely and thinking the format was simply awful. My sport is couch-sitting ;) Fiddle Faddle (talk) 07:45, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 April newsletter
We are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with 
Sven Manguard (submissions) claiming for the high-importance Portal:Sports and Portal:Geography (which are the first portals ever awarded bonus points in the WikiCup) and 
Cwmhiraeth (submissions) claiming for a did you know of sea, the highest scoring individual did you know article ever submitted for the WikiCup. Round 2 saw very impressive scores at close; first place 
Casliber (submissions) and second place 
Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) both scored over 1000 points; a feat not seen in Round 2 since 2010. This, in part, has been made possible by the change in the bonus points rules, but is also testament to the quality of the competition this year. Pool C and Pool G were most competitive, with three quarters of participants making it to Round 3, while Pool D was the least, with only the top two scorers making it through. The lowest qualifying score was 123, significantly higher than last year's 65, 2011's 41 or even 2010's 100.
The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges.
A rules clarification: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on 29/30 April, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Basketball player infobox conversions
Hi Tony - We are at that time (after close of the NCAA season but before the NBA Draft) when we migrate basketball player infoboxes for those who have completed their college eligibility from Template:Infobox NCAA athlete to Template:Infobox basketball biography. I have been converting these and just wanted to check in and see if you wanted me to convert them for the player articles that you created (Trey Burke, Ian Hummer, etc.) or if you wanted to handle it. The conversion is pretty easy, but the one thing that changes is the removal of tournaments, championships (other than national titles) and some awards/honors so these sometimes need to be emphasized in the text. Let me know your preference. I am happy to help, but know that you may want to do this yourself for some articles. Rikster2 (talk) 13:17, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
- Tony - if you want to wait til the end of classes but will commit to taking care of it that is fine. I would say that very few people are going to these players' articles as college players anymore with the season over - they are looking at them as potential draft picks/pro players. I have converted infoboxes for players who have been out of college three years lately and there is no sense in allowing this to happen any longer. Rikster2 (talk) 14:51, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
- I will bet you a sum of your choosing that every single one of the 2012-13 college players who have articles play basketball somewhere next year. Bottom line, if the infoboxes for those who have declared for the draft (obvious intent to play pro ball) aren't done right before draft night i will do them just prior. Also, I have no obligation to weigh in on any wiki discussion. Rikster2 (talk) 22:43, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
- I am not concerned with Albrecht right now - he has 3 years before he is of concern. Horford will play professionally somewhere, bank on it. The guys whose eligibility is up will all be playing professionally next year. Bottom line - I will be converting infoboxes. like I said, I'll leave your created articles alone until the time comes but there is no issue with doing what I am doing. No one seems to get conerned that we let articles of pro players hang out there with outdated NCAA infoboxes for literally years. Those who get drafted by the NBA need to be ready for the activity that always comes with the draft - slapping templates on and hastily creating articles of picks with no entries.

Main Page appearance: Juwan Howard
This is a note to let the main editors of Juwan Howard know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on May 17, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or one of his delegates (Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 17, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Juwan Howard (born 1973) is an American professional basketball player who plays for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He signed for the Heat (his eighth NBA team) in 2010, reaching the playoffs for the sixth time and making his first career NBA Finals appearance. Howard won his first NBA championship with Miami the following year. A one-time All-Star and one-time All-NBA power forward, he began his NBA career as the fifth overall pick in the 1994 NBA Draft by the Washington Bullets. Before he was drafted, he starred as an All-American on the Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team. At Michigan he was part of the Fab Five recruiting class of 1991 that twice reached the finals of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Men's Division I Basketball Championship. During his rookie year with the Bullets, he became the first player to graduate on time with his class after leaving college early to play in the NBA. After one season as an All-Rookie player and a second as an All-Star and an All-NBA performer, he became the first NBA player to sign a $100 million contract. He has developed a reputation as a humanitarian for his civic commitment. (Full article...)

This template on Hakka Wikipedia does not look as colourful as the Chinese version, nor its equivalent English version. Can you help us fix this problem?

Matilda
I actually think its a disgrace and amounts to censorship. We can prove they won these awards through either from the award its self or from sources from the individual productions. Your assertion that these are not reliable sources is to me incorrect as primary sources can be considered useful and reliable depending on the claim that they are making. The claim they are making here is not a claim that needs backed up by a secondary sources to avoid original research or a claim that could be considered negative or un factual. You should also note that these awards were taken very seriously by the productions who went all out campaigning both online and through leafleting in playbills. It is not for a very small group of editors to decide how important an award is to a production or in general whether an award is of a certain level, if we can prove exists and can be sourced then it has every right to be included. As i say i consider this to be censorship and if continues should be taken to a site wide request for comment.Blethering Scot 11:57, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
- If we were trying to create an individual article on the Choice awards then we would need third party sources to establish that article, however in a case like this there is no reason whatsoever why a source from say Kinky boots saying it won the award or from the award itself could not be considered reliable. Primary sources should not be used if a secondary source is available, there could be original research or negative and can be considered reliable depending on use. This situation is none of the above so sighting WP:RS isnt really valid. Would be a totally different story on an article purely about Broadway choice not an article about Matilda, Kinky Boots or Pippin. We are not talking about an award from the local church group here, you may consider it a third tier award but I'm fairly sure the productions don't. Blethering Scot 12:30, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

But this move will have to be done with no redirect, because you immediately want to use the name Template:Sandman for another purpose.
How about if I do the DC Comics moves first and then wait for the bots (or whatever) to fix everything. Then there would be no more pages linking to Template:Sandman and confusion would not ensue when 'Sandman navbox' is moved to 'Sandman'. Let me know what you advise.

- Thanks for your reply at User talk:EdJohnston#Sandman moves. Besides yourself, only one IP voted in the move discussion. If you consider it a high priority not to disturb existing links, would you agree to omit the move of Template:Sandman navbox from your request? That would make the move easier to do and would accomplish most of the benefits. Then we could do the other two moves while keeping the redirects. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 22:45, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- I closed the Sandman move but it will take time to do all the steps. Now waiting overnight to see if a bot will fix up anything listed at Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:The Sandman (DC Comics). I haven't started working on the navbox, since all the old
{{Sandman}}transclusions first have to get changed to{{Sandman (DC Comics)}}. EdJohnston (talk) 02:19, 25 May 2013 (UTC)- OK, I finished the move. See this Whatlinkshere for the articles that still need updating. At present they still transclude {{Sandman navbox}} which is a redirect to {{Sandman}}. If you want to update these yourself and eliminate the redirect, go ahead. Otherwise I assume a bot will fix them in due course. EdJohnston (talk) 14:40, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Justine Ezarik, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fast Company (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Just wondering why you used several templates to create a template, while everything could be done in just one template. Can you explain that? The Banner talk 19:42, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi TonyTheTiger. I've thought long and hard about this, and I think coming to your talk page may be the best thing to do. In short, I want to kindly request you to self-revert your removal of the navboxes that you did two days ago, and to let matters rest there until the RFC is resolved. Then, we can either include them or omit them, based entirely on the outcome of the RFC. If the RFC closes as no consensus, we'll need to discuss their inclusion or omission on the Dostoyevsky talk page. If you agree to do this, it would be a great help if you could place a note at Talk:Fyodor Dostoyevsky#Trying to avoid a brewing edit war explaining it.
The reason for making this request is that your action, and the current state of that talk page thread, threaten to turn this into a battleground, which I'm sure we'd all like to avoid. Apart from the PA and the threat, the title of the thread itself is unhelpful, because it will intimidate other editors who may wish to remove the navboxes. It is particularly unfortunate that the GAN reviewer sees the situation as calling the article's stability into question. And the thread's title may also not reflect well on you, given that you have already reverted Tomcat7's removal of the navboxes twice on 2 May 2013.
Kind regards, Simon. --Stfg (talk) 11:19, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Preakness winners again
Say, I realized that you created Oxbow (horse) AND were on the team when we took Shackleford (horse) to GA. So, I've been working on the Oxbow article recently and think it's close to being ready for a GA run; Craiglduncan and Froggerlaura have already been over there to help and added a bunch of good stuff, too. So do you want to pop over, give it a look, comment, etc., and join the crew for another GA run on a Preakness stakes winner? I think it's close to being ready for a GA run (two cn tags left, both of which contain content that's not critical to the article, though fun to keep if sourceable) I'd love to have it at GA quality and the nomination in before the Belmont, as it's apt to get a lot of traffic about then.

Review
I put the César Cielo and Thiago Pereira articles for GA. I would ask if you can review the English of the pages, and then be the reviewer of the GA process of both. I did my best, I put everything I could in the articles, but I do not speak English fluently and probably contains some grammar errors. If you could help me, I'll be very grateful. Thank you.

There are lists of writers by television series to determine who wrote the most episodes.
I don't know why you or anyone else is objecting to the lists of writers for television series. I think it's good to know who wrote the most episodes for certain shows. --StewieBaby05 (talk) 18:03, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
